Today started with a 6 a.m. wake up, shower and preparation for a day of fishing. Problem one. I forgot to pack any pants including my fishing pants. So, I fished in my jeans. Not to bad except that it was 80 degrees. The fishing starts at the base of the damn. This is called a tailwater. We put the boat in the water and begin a 7.2 mile float down the river. Here is the start point.
No sooner than we entered the water I caught three small fish. Looked like the day was starting out just fine.
A little while later I caught two more rainbow's about so...
That would be the last trout brought to hand this day. However, a massive battle was waged with a massive White fish later on in the day,, but we don't count them. Left the water at 4:30. There were only 4 other boats on the water, and apparently I seemed to have had the most luck. The fishing according to my guide David has been quite poor for several weeks now, for no known reason. One thing I learned today was that the sage is in full bloom and I am allergic to it. I wonder if either Lewis or Clark had allergies.
Tomorrow it is on t0 Mt. Rushmore.
